A heavy, slab-serif display face with blunt, square-ended serifs and a slightly uneven, hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick with minimal contrast, and corners alternate between crisp chops and soft rounding, creating a lively texture. Proportions lean compact with stout verticals and generous, open counters; the lowercase features short ascenders and a compact x-height, while punctuation and figures carry the same chunky, blocky construction. Overall spacing and letterfit read intentionally loose and animated, giving lines a bouncy rhythm rather than a rigid typographic grid.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its chunky slabs and lively rhythm can be appreciated. It works well for posters, product packaging, brand marks, café or shop signage, and event or children’s-themed materials where a friendly, retro-leaning voice is desired.
The tone is playful and nostalgic, evoking poster lettering, crafty packaging, and whimsical signage. Its irregularities and chunky slabs suggest warmth and personality over precision, making it feel friendly, bold, and a little mischievous.
Likely designed to capture the punch of classic slab-serif display type while adding a handcrafted, quirky twist. The goal appears to be strong presence at large sizes with an approachable, whimsical personality rather than strict geometric regularity.
The strongest impression comes from the combination of heavy slab terminals and subtle wobble in stems and curves, which adds texture at larger sizes. The all-caps set feels especially poster-like and sturdy, while the lowercase introduces more bounce and charm, increasing the casual, handmade character in text settings.
